Refactor MIME type compression check to use Category system

Replaces string prefix checks with Bun's MimeType.Category infrastructure.

Benefits:
- Cleaner code (category-based switch vs 20+ string checks)
- Better performance (comptime category vs runtime string comparisons)
- More maintainable (one place to update compression logic)
- More comprehensive (automatically handles 2310+ MIME types via categories)
- Handles +xml and +json structured suffixes (e.g., application/vnd.api+json)
